Pakistan Set to Launch Communication Satellite on May 30

Pakistan is set to launch its second communication satellite, Paksat MM1, on Thursday, marking a significant milestone for the country’s space and communication technology. 

This advanced satellite, created by Pakistani scientists and engineers, represents a major step forward in improving internet connectivity throughout the nation. The launch will occur on May 30 from a satellite launch center in China.

The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) has led this ambitious project. Their goal is to bring reliable internet services to every part of Pakistan. Paksat MM1, the second space mission for Pakistan this May, is also expected to provide a crucial boost to the country’s digital infrastructure.

Paksat MM1 will enhance TV broadcasting, cellular phone service, and broadband service across Pakistan. The satellite is set to start offering these services by August. This development is especially important for remote and underserved areas, where internet access has been limited or non-existent. By improving communication capabilities, Suparco also aims to promote socio-economic development and digital inclusion across the country.

Earlier, on May 11, Pakistan announced its plans to launch the MM1 satellite. The MM1 satellite’s primary objective is to strengthen Pakistan’s communication infrastructure. It is anticipated to help establish a sophisticated communication network that meets the growing demands of the telecom sector.
